Stoke City are in desperate need of a win to properly kickstart their season, as they prepare to travel to Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon.

The Potters have succumbed to two defeats in a week, after losing 3-2 to Blackburn Rovers in the league on Saturday afternoon, before crashing out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night thanks to another 3-2 defeat, at the hands of Nottingham Forest.

Gary Rowett's men have won just twice in their opening nine league games, and sit 18th in the table after three draws and four defeats thus far.

Expectations were high in pre-season after bookies tipped Stoke as favourites to lift the Championship table in May, but the Potters have made a sluggish start to the campaign with some lacklustre performances.

In what looks to be a winnable game on paper for Stoke, here, we take a look at two changes Gary Rowett should make to the Stoke line-up that faced Blackburn Rovers last week, as the Potters face Rotherham United this Saturday afternoon.

He may have been in the villain for Stoke last week after missing a stoppage-time penalty against Rovers, but Berahino has been in a purple patch of late having scored twice in a week.

He took his tally up to three goals for the season in midweek against Forest, and despite missing yet another golden opportunity in injury time, the 25-year old has looked sharp recently and deserves his place in the Stoke side in place of Mame Diouf.

Despite Stoke's disappointing defeat at the City Ground on Wednesday, Bojan was an impressive performer for Stoke upon his return to the first team.

The former Barcelona playmaker looked sharp and skilful and deserves to keep his place in the first team on Saturday afternoon.
